Answering the question: “what scope to purchase?”

One of the most common questions when starting out in long range shooting is “what scope to purchase?”

Your success in long range shooting is driven by many factors, and one of the most important is the scope, the quality of the rings and base, and how well it’s mounted on the rifle.

Arguably the scope choice is the most important choice in moving into the sport, although other things are important for success. There’s a lot of room for error with the latter, whereas with a scope it’s important to get it right from the start.

What do we mean by “right?” These are factors like scope glass quality and tracking, along with size, design, weight, reticle, magnification and type of internal measurements. There area range of choices you need to make, and that’s why there is no obvious answer.

There are many, many, manufacturers of scopes and very few resources that make it easy to make the right choice for you, so it is a difficult choice.
